The greenhouse will be a single‑bay structure placed on an existing 32’ × 60’ concrete slab and must meet all local building codes, including wind and snow loads. The scope includes engineered structural drawings, HVAC (exhaust fans, heating, evaporative cooling, airflow fans), shading, automatic temperature control, grow lights, emergency lighting, fire safety equipment, and optional benching. The contractor must obtain all required permits, provide insurance as specified, and submit a 5 % bid bond (and a 25 % performance/payment bond for proposals ≥ $50,000). The project is scheduled to start on April 1 2027 and be completed by July 31 2027.
